The Labour Market Regulatory Authority (LMRA) conducted five joint inspection campaigns. The campaigns resulted in reporting violations related to the Labour Market, Residency Laws and others. The cases were referred for legal action.

The inspection campaigns included visits to a number of shops, work sites and labor gathering places, to determine the extent of compliance with regulations and laws, in order to preserve the basic components of the labor market.

LMRA stated that a joint campaign was carried out in the Capital Governorate in partnership with the Sentence Enforcement Department. It added that another three joint inspection campaigns were carried out in the Muharraq, Northern and Southern Governorates in coordination with the Nationality, Passports and Residency Affairs (NPRA) and the Police Directorates.

while the fifth campaign was held in the Northern Governorate in coordination with Ministry of Labour (MOL).

LMRA renewed its call to all members of the society to support the efforts of government agencies in addressing illegal labour practices, by reporting violations via the electronic form on the authority’s website www.lmra.gov.bh or by calling the authority’s call centre on 17506055.
